Just a quick note on GCJ java.  This is a gnu project that dynamically compiles java to native code for execution.  NetKernel will boot on gcj but we do not use a standard classloader and instead each module has quite a special classloader which gnu java cannot handle.

NetKernel is a fully dynamic execution environment - the relationships between software functions is resolved during execution, this is very different to the linking that regular gcj compilation can manage.

In brief, you must run NetKernel on a java virtual machine.

Hi Christopher,

I think your problem is that your Ubuntu system appears to be using a GCJ based java. This does not seem to be providing the required graphics library for the graphical installer.

Please can you install Sun (java.sun.com) or IBM''s JVM.

When you type "java -version" you should get something like...

java version "1.5.0_10" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_10-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_10-b03, mixed mode)

Cheers,

Peter
